Intimacy: The Quest for Life Connections (A Kaleidoscope Series Resource)

From the rear cover: "Whether in friendship, marriage, or family living, intimacy involves a capacity to be close and an ability to be distant, to be open and to set boundaries. An intimate relationship is one in which one can be warmly personal while remaining one's own person. 'Fear' says Henri Nouwen, 'is the great enemy of intimacy.' Fear causes one to keep a safe distance or an overly safe closeness. Both hinder the ability to be truly intimate. Dr. Hanna will suggest ways to be playfully close and respectfully distant. Types of intimacy and expressions of false intimacy are discussed. This resource includes a combined leader's guide and student text."
